Have Issues with plugin compatability and IE9

[juliemoose]

I am using the plugin for the events page here:
http://www.go-gba.org/events/
It seems to be the same datepicker javascript issue that this user is talking about in this post:

Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) & The Event Calendar / PRO MAJOR Issue

I have tried updating the plugin to the latest version in hopes that the fix mentioned in that thread has been implemented but it the datepicker js seems to be conflicting and breaking our site in IE 9 on both my version and the latest version of the plugin.
Any insight on solving this issue would be much appreciated.

It seems if i remove this call: <link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’tribe-events-bootstrap-datepicker-css-css’ href=’http://www.go-gba.org/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/vendor/bootstrap-datepicker/css/datepicker.css?ver=3.7.1&#8242; type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />
Things start working a bit nicer in ie 9. but would still like some insight on this issue if possible.

Great question, juliemoose! Thanks for doing so much digging on your own. 🙂

I’m going to get with our dev team about this and see what they think is going on. Please let me know if you come across anything else that might shine a light on the issue. Otherwise, I’ll be back in touch once I have an answer from them.

Thanks!

Hi, juliemoose. It looks like what we’re dealing with here is a whole bunch of plugins that aren’t playing well together.

Our dev has identified the biggest culprit here:

If the user could please start by removing the invalid duplicate meta tag telling IE to force edge that would be awesome. I can see IE actually complaining about it in console and switching into IE7 mode at times.

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />

The first declaration is fine, the second one output by some other plugin way later is no good.

There are also a number of javascript errors that you may want to address. Anyhow, please give that a go, and let me know if that resolves the issue. Thanks! 🙂

Hi, juliemoose. As it’s been a couple of weeks now, I’m going to close this thread. Please start a new topic if you’d like to pursue this further.

Thanks for being a TEC user!
